Even though they are cool as hell because space pirates are fucking badass, the existence of the Banished is one of the most retarded things 343 came up with. You have to ask what the fuck the dipshits in both the Banished and UNSC were doing during the Human-Covenant war? If the Banished and UNSC teamed up they would have buttfucked Covenant logistics completely and brought Atriox's former oppressors to their knees. The Banished know the location of every planet in Covenant space and seeing as they are pirates they probably know a great deal about their supply routes. Intel sharing + technology sharing = the Covenant cannot wage war. And by the time NOVA bombs are created, intel sharing would lead to the instant vaporisation of High Charity and spell the destruction of the Covenant.

Ruby's mod added odst models to the game, I think female odst too, not sure about female marines.

Also, speaking of new missions. They could have made them take place not before the main campaign, but during it. It could've explained how some of the characters, like Stacker and that Chinese guy, escaped the Halo.

So you want to play Halo: Campaign Evolved, but you DON'T want to spend a lot of money?

>ALL GAME PASS PC USERS GET THE GAME AT NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE
Simply purchase 1 month of PC Game Pass ($14), and get the game at no additional cost on July 28th. It's recommended you wait until right at release to purchase so that you can get a full month of time with the game.
https://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/store/pc-game-pass/cfq7ttc0kgq8?icid=CNavAllPCGamePass

Sometimes you can also find a 14-day FREE trial, which would allow you to play the game for 2 weeks at no cost.

>PURCHASE THE PREMIUM EDITION UPGRADE TO PLAY THE GAME 5 DAYS EARLY
You can also play the game 5 days early by purchasing the Premium Edition Upgrade ($20) which will stack on top of your Game Pass Subscription, giving you 5 days of early access (July 23rd vs 28th) and access to Premium Edition in-game cosmetics
https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/halo-campaign-evolved-premium-edition-upgrade/9MT7PRG7NSLD

If you plan on purchasing the Premium Upgrade, make sure to purchase it only after signing up for PC Game Pass first.

NOTE: Game Pass "Essential" and "Premium" Tiers do NOT include Day 1 Access to Halo: Campaign Evolved. Only "Ultimate" ($23/mo) and "PC" ($14/mo) Game Pass Tiers include access.

I'd like to go back to that look for Elites where despite the obvious tech it almost looks like they just strapped armor to themselves like ancient warriors
You can only really tell the skin-looking stuff is an undersuit when examining the neck near the backside of the helmet carefully even when it came to later HD variations
Although remakes of CE Elites like the one by Abimael Salazar provide a nice example of more obviously being an undersuit yet still have those organic-looking elements

The actual presentation of the Banished leaves something to be desired but their existence is one element I never took issue with
>formerly complicit in slaughtering humanity
>expecting to contact the UNSC and live
The odds weren't good for them back when the war was on, they were far less powerful and extremely cautious humans may think they're just a new Covenant scheme
Trusting each other to not kill each other after taking out some Covie place of significance? Big ask. Plus Atriox decided to raid UNSC places and kill troops instead of sticking to targeting his former slavers. Banished are victims whose descent into evil the players can understand.

Nice. Now...to pre-order or not to pre-order...
It comes down to whether or not I can get the classic CE skin. If it's permanently locked to pre-orders, then I might have to pre-order. But if at some point in the future, it's available as a separate purchase, that means I can just wait til the game goes on sale after a year or two and get the ultimate edition for cheap.

You wanna hear about what I did to Minto? You want to hear how I tied her to the bed? Not too tight, so I could watch her struggle. You want to hear about how I made her go down on her knees, forced myself inside of her? You want to hear how she was alone with me all night. She did things that... she never expected to do, that she never imagined were possible. With her fingers. With her mouth. Or do you want to hear how, at the beginning, she said she would do anything? I mean, she begged me for her life. And by the morning time, when she was lying, shaking, crying, bleeding, she was begging me to take her out of her misery.

"Bro wtf, this is why you can't get any chicks, Escharum. What the hell are you doing holed up in here on your computer all day anyway...The hell, is that one of those...what did yo call them...vtubers? Anime, vtubers, whatever man. You gotta stop obsessing over that shit and get yourself a real woman. This is sad, man.

Instead of all this, I think you'd have more success taking a shower, shaving your beard, and politely asking girls out on a date. Believe me, I was an edgy little shit back in my Silent Shadow days too, but come on man, we're in our 90s. We can't act like this forever. We all gotta grow up and take responsibility. I believe in you, Esch. Now, come on. Let's get you to the barber and then go find you some new clothes. Girls decide whether they'll sleep with you or not in the first 30 seconds of seeing you, so you gotta look your best. Oh, and don't say any of that shit you were talking to yourself about earlier, that's a turnoff for them.

Wait, you stink. Go take a shower first, man. The girls are gonna run away before you even get a chance to talk to them. Hurry up, I'll wait outside. We're leaving in 20 minutes."

I'm surprised there's not at least a Firefight-esque mode launching with it... then again I don't put it past them to actually have made one and be saving it to show off later.
On the other hand a lot of things may have been easier to justify back during CEA dev days compared to Evolved dev days which are in the wake of much lower reputation and player retention for the IP.
Plus that report about how a lot of stuff about Evolved was estimated to be a lot easier to do than it actually was (assuming it's true). Are there any Skulls that activate infinitely respawning enemies? It'd be a fun pairing with the Skull for infinite ammo.

Reminder that if you didn't play Halo (halo_01.10.12.2276) and Halo 2 (1.00.5849.12) running in 5.1 surround sound speakers on the original XBOX then you didn't beat the game.

Reminder that if you didn't play Halo 3 (Retail Build 11855), ODST (Retail Build 13895) and Reach (Retail Build 11860) running in 5.1 Dolby Digital and DTS on the original XBOX 360 then you didn't beat the game.

Reminder that Marty hates MCC and considers CEA to be a lazy cashgrab built on a broken port by RANDY.

>Eric Nylund and Joe Staten came up with most of Halo lore that was actually interesting
>Bungie was mad at Eric Nylund for changing Chief’s origins in the book. They originally wanted him to be a Mjolnir Cyborg like the player character in Marathon
>Halo was always intended to be a self-contained passion project
>Halo 2 was the most ambitious Halo game and most of the concepts and ideas from Halo 2 made their way to later games
>Max Hoberman was responsible for everything you like about H2/H3 multiplayer. Xbox Live, matchmaking, playlists, custom games, gametypes, Lockout and Zanzibar
>Halo 3 was mostly just finishing what Bungie started with Halo 2
>Halo 3 ODST was always intended to be a short and sweet expansion pack to Halo 3 that added ODST campaign and Firefight. Don Mattrick wanted it to be a standalone, and Bungie fought to include the Halo 3 multiplayer disc with all maps on disc for LAN parties
>Jaime Griesemer leaving Reach's gameplay to Sage Merrill is what gave us armor abilities, sprint in Halo, reticle bloom
>Halo Reach was the true Alpha to Destiny's gameplay mechanics
>Reach is the most balanced Halo game since CE and had the most content that was ready day-1

>Frank O'Connor inserted Forerunner retcons into Halo 3's terminals behind Bungie's back
>Frank O’Conner was too chuffed to work with Greg Bear. All that nonsense wasn’t even originally written for Halo. It was leftovers from some other project that he used for the Forerunner Saga and establishing the Didact and Librarian
>Bonnie Ross wanted Halo to be Microsoft's Star Wars transmedia franchise and for Halo 4/5 to rely on the Glasslands books as a foundation
>Halo 4 was chasing COD instead of improving on what Jaime Griesemer and Max Hoberman designed in H2/H3
>Brian Reed is responsible for crashing Halo's lore into a ditch. Spartan Ops, Janus Key, Spartan Locke, Halo 5
>Halo 5 had the most balanced and polished gameplay since Halo CE thanks to Tom French

I wonder if they were meant to be the type that'd turn to stare at you en masse after rounding a corner, or pop-up from various hiding spots, or just immediately begin trying to swarm you close-quarters. I could even see them being enemies who could scale walls and would either fire from there or aim to drop on top of the player.

They started off the same, both fanatical followers, but Arbiter goes through things that shake and changes his belief, even if he still views the Forerunners as some kind of gods, he knows that the Covenant’s interpretation of things is false, yet Tartarus doesn’t change, showing his faith wasn’t truly to the gods, but the Prophets, even when an “oracle” of the gods confirms his beliefs false. He even threatens and roughly throws and miss handles said “oracle”, showing further his lack of respect for the gods

It's important to have the correct mindset about campaign v multiplayer. That being that a true Halo game is a campaign experience first and foremost.
I'd be perfectly fine with the CE remake having firefight or some other PvE mode as its "multiplayer" offering for this reason.
Halo CE/1 had multiplayer thrown in the game in the last few months of development for the same reason any multiplayer was in a console game at the time, it was just expected to be there. The campaign WAS the game, and the multiplayer was extra. Now, it did turn out to be really good and pretty addicting, but it's important to understand that this existed in mostly a party game atmosphere. Yes, there were comp tournaments, but they are not representative of the average Halo CE multiplayer session.
Halo 2, or really rather Xbox Live, changed this, and set this unrealistic standard of Halo multiplayer being the face of the series. It was never meant to last, but it stuck, even as CoD 4 and onwards drained the popularity 3 years later.

tl;dr
A PVE-only game is sorely needed at this point to correct this wrongdoing and artificial ballooning of Halo's multiplayer to be its core identity.

>>571054296

>>571058545
The pre-2010 stuff were fun glimpses into other battles and parts of the war. I'd say see what Campaign Evolved's new missions are like first since they may indicate what story details Halo Studios is keeping relevant. A lot of post-2010 stuff got hyped up by 343 and then basically went nowhere or was abandoned due to poor reception to the game they were more or less meant to support.

>What is your favorite weapon?
Halo 3 SMG. It looks so cool and compact single-wielded, like an operator/Spec Ops weapon. Magazine is massive yet the reload is lightning fast. Unlike Halo 2 Classic where it sounds and feels really weak, and Halo 2 Anniversary where it's obnoxiously loud, in 3 it sounds really good to shoot and actually packs a punch. Surprisingly versatile (single wield to become a close-range AR and keep melee and grenade options open, or dual wield for more utility). And dual-wielded with a Plasma Rifle means no one is beating you in close range unless they have a shotgun.

>And what is your favorite bad weapon
Halo 5 Binary Rifle. It's the most satisfying gun to shoot in the entire franchise. It only takes one round to kill enemies, but it's a beam weapon that has a short firing sequence where you still have to stay on target for a few milliseconds, giving it a unique feel. And then the target ignites into that Forerunner disintegration effect with a 'Pop!' The visual and audio effects you get from shooting this thing is so cool and makes it feel so powerful. The Focus Rifle is obnoxiously loud and visually cluttered despite being such a weak, useless weapon. The sentinel beam is okay, but lacking weight to its audio and it burns through ammo so quick it's not even worth taking with you in 3. In Infinite it's also an awkward weapon to use. 4's version is really boring, despite packing a punch. But Halo 5 takes all those weapons and turns them into truly unique type of sniper beam rifle that feels completely different from any other gun. It's simply the most fun and satisfying weapon in the franchise.

...HOWEVER, because it was made by 343, that makes it automatically bad. And now they can't even be bothered to port the game to PC. 343 really is the worst. Also, their forerunner weapon designs are butt-ass ugly. I hated that they put red lights on everything affiliated with the Didact instead of the cool, Bungie forerunner blue.

I wouldn't call it perfect but as things sit I only think CE and ODST are definitely better.
Campaign is really good both gameplay wise and environmentally, muh-biomes spergs can do a flip.
Multiplayer kind of sucks, at least by default. Sprint still ruins everything, most of the maps are unnecessarily yuge (Streets is the only reasonably sized one), the truehalo vibes from the campaign are tossed in favor of more hooman cod slop environments, those fucking AIs are horrific (at least you can turn them off). Could be worse but leaves a lot to be desired.
That said, forge, customs and multiplayer bots make it so that the multiplayer CAN be very good, which is good enough for me, matchmaking in this day and age is for fags anyway.

Precision weapons are fine, they just need something to offset their utility or do something unique. Examples:
>Covenant Carbine = Briefly leaves behind residual radiation that cause damage over time at the location it was shot
>ManglerHaevy Spiker = Precision weapon, but the projectile travels slowly and in an arc
>Halo 5 Binary Rifle = Fires a beam burst rather than a single projectile and has an extremely small magazine and max ammo capacity, and is a rare weapon to find on the battlefield\
That being said, there's no harm in nerfing pistol fire rate or damage and completely removing the DMR/Bandit.
>>
>>571161858
Also I'd nerf the BR to take an extra one or two bursts to kill. Sniper rifle can get a fire rate nerf or even a magazine nerf. I'd actually buff the max capacity of the sniper, but I would nerf its ability to do such high burst damage so fast, that way the user maintains being a sniper for longer but it's less of an overwhelming threat so that you don't have to drop everything you're doing and deal with it immediately.

As it is now, everyone just uses the BR. This is to encourage other weapon use. Nothing can really challenge the BR, especially in 2 or 3. Unless it's a sniper rifle. Carbine is a redundant weapon that's not really that interesting and you don't see it in every map either. Needle Rifle, however, that one can stay.
>>
Also in BTB, everyone spawns with a BR, so you basically don't need to use anything else unless it's a power weapon. You don't even see Plasma Pistol use that much despite it being good against vehicles in 3
>>
>>571163954
Nobody is picking up the BR if it takes literally half a mag to kill. You have no concept of balance whatsoever.
>>
>>571164331
Yeah, but nerfs don't exist in a vacuum. If it takes half a mag to kill someone then obviously you'd have to buff the magazine size and max capacity. You have to take everything into consideration. If people stop picking the BR up completely then maybe the nerf was too much and then you'd dial it back to maybe just one extra burst to kill. The main idea is to encourage the use of other weapons because right now in Halo 2 and 3 you only need to use the BR because it's too OP. The only other guns you need in those games are power weapons. No one uses the needler, plasma rifle, magnum, or even the brute shot. Those other weapon kill times are fine, it's just that the BR kills too fast at too long a range so there's no point in picking those other guns up. If you can nerf the BR just enough to let other weapons seem worthwhile then that's where I'd stop.

>>571164831
And then I'd test it. And refine or make changes if necessary. Once no one can decide which weapon is the best in the game, then that's probably the ideal balance.
>>
Halo Infinite might be the best balanced Halo game, but I don't like how fast and involved it is (strafe/move speed is too fast, then you got extra movement stuff like clamber/slide/drop slide), I would prefer if the game dialed it back and got more simple. And once this happens, you'd also need to rebalance all the weapons because they're designed around the increased speed and abilities. Same goes with the maps, they would all need to be reviewed and probably shrunk down. Vehicles would also have to be slower.

>>
>>571165536
>while ignoring the biggest issue
Yeah, the sniper rifle could use a few nerfs. That's why the BR exists in the first place, after all. 2nd biggest issue is sprint. But at that point you'd have to rebalance the whole game. That would take several long posts describing in detail my perfect Halo game with the perfect sandbox and intricate balance. But that will take too long and you're not even gonna read it.
>>
>>571165398
Infinite's weapons are all relatively balanced on paper, but they feel like shit to use. Too many low damage spammy weapons.
>>
>>571165848
The fact that you haven't picked up on it yet tells me everything you know about weapon design(not much). You're just reacting to anything that kills you with heavy nerfs.
>>
>>571165849
The aiming system is also garbage which contributes to making them feel like shit too. It's funny because 343 perfected aiming in 4. I don't know why they went backwards. It felt tighter and more responsive to aim than 3.
>>
>>571166038
There's a ton of things that would get affected by nerfing the BR and they're all important. Nerfing the BR is simply the easiest and most obvious first step. Nerfing the sniper is next, whioch is the BR's biggest threat and the reason the BR even exists in the sandbox. Next after that would be to test/nerf/buff other weapons in the sandbox starting with other precision weapons. Then make sure the full-auto weapons aren't so overwhelmingly strong. Then Vehicles. Then review whether equipment/movement needs a buff. All of these tests would be done on flat open terrain. Once the balance is perfect, then go and redesign every single existing map based on this balance. If there's too much cover, test whether its better too buff kill times or remove that cover. I'm not doing this for short term gain. This could easily take a year or more just to get the balance right. Redesigning the maps would take even longer. But I would do that after the weapons 'feel' right to use in their ideal situations (without cover). This isn't gonna be a quick fix.

Nerfing the BR is the first step.
>>
>>571166661
And reason why the BR is first is because it's the main weapon everyone uses. You don't need to use other weapons because the BR exists (unless its a power weapon). Half the sandbox gets ignored because the BR is too good.
>>
>>571166661
Nah, you're just mad because BR uses kill you so you want to take that away from them. You have no thoughts about how doing such a thing would affect the rest of the game. You need to clumsily scramble to fix everything else after making such a drastic change, and you STILL don't see what nerfing the utility weapon would do to the game. This isn't a matter of testing anything, you're just ignorant.
>>
>>571166875
But because the weapons are already in place, and the maps are designed around the current sandbox (but in actuality not very effectively balance because one gun still ends up getting used over everything), you're gonna need to completely redo the maps anyway. But I'm not gonna touch the maps until all the weapons have been rebalanced first. Otherwise you're gonna be reworking the same map over and over for every weapon that gets changed. So you balance the werapons/vehicles first before you touch the maps.

Cut infinite enemy. Meant to be sort of miniboss like the hunter. It’s also functioned similar to the grunt mule in the final game where it would carry a bunch power weapons on it back that you got from killing it. You would also find untamed/unarmored versions of it to that attacked everyone like the drinol and those giants things in reach since originally infinite was supposed to have wwwwaaayyy more wildlife like in the trailer. Will be reused for Halo 7.
>>
>>571167249
You're not making any sense.
>Nah, you're just mad because BR uses kill you so you want to take that away from them.
But I am the BR user, that's the issue. There's no reason to use other weapons. I would like to use other weapons but why would I do that when I already spawn with the BR?
>You have no thoughts about how doing such a thing would affect the rest of the game. You need to clumsily scramble to fix everything else after making such a drastic change
I just earlier it was going to be a long process, what do you mean clumsily scramble with no thoughts. This is not gonna be done willy nilly. this is gonna take time, testing, and iteration until it feels right and doesn't hurt the rest of the game.
>you STILL don't see what nerfing the utility weapon would do to the game
We already got a glimpse of it in Infinite, the BR isn't as strong as it is in 2 and 3, and you see more players using other weapons. I'm more concerned with halo 3 as a baseline, so if nerfing the BR for infinite can be done successfully (which it has) than it can be done for 3 too. Yeah, the maps and other weapons will need to be reworked, but Bungie has done this work going from CE to 2 to 3, so it's been done before (making changes to the sandbox I mean). People complained about 2 when it first came out, so of course not everyone is gonna be happy with the changes
>This isn't a matter of testing anything, you're just ignorant.
The only way to know if something works is if someone has done it before or to test it yourself. And by doing that process it's the complete opposite of being ignorant. To be ignorant is to to not know. Well, you won't know until you make the change and test it out. We already know Bungie's balanciung of the sandbox isn't perfect. We've just gotten used to the way things are.
>>
>>571168409
>There's no reason to use other weapons.
And by this of course I don't mean the power weapons. I mean stuff like the plasma rifle, magnum, brute shot, etc. The BR simply kills faster so there's less motivation to go looking for those other guns
>>
>>571167737
You don't even need Elites for Invasion to work. It helps sell the themes of the mode better, but it could work just as fine in an all-Spartans game.
>>
>>571168409
The BR wasn't nerfed for Infinite. Everything around it was buffed. The BR itself is a weapon that has remained rather consistent across all of the games. Halo 4's original version is the biggest departure, where it was made into a 5-burst kill.
>>
>>571169297
The BR in Infinite definitely has a slightly lower fire rate between projectiles during a burst, and Halo Infinite's aiming system makes it harder to aim with it compared to something like 4 or 3, so it's got an indirect nerf from that. (but so does mostly every other weapon) It's harder to hit stuff than in 3, for sure.
>>
>>571169809
Also while technically a 'buff' the increased scope zoom compared to 3 is what I'd consider a nerf because it forces you to use the scope at a longer distance than you would at 3, changing the fov. This contributes to it being harder to use because I'd rather use a weaker scope at a shorter distance. It's almost sniper rifle range, which is overkill for the BR, makes using it more tedious.
>>
>>571169809
Even if it did get a nerf like that, it's miniscule and still not even close to the best weapon in the game. You're thinking of everything backwards.

If we're talking Infinite balance, I'd say the sandbox is mostly fine (for what it is), but I have so many problems with infinite (mainly being movement and controls) that I'd rather focus on a game I'd rather see get a proper rebalance. Which is 3. It's already the best Halo game, but I'd like to see if it's possible to get more usage out of the sandbox besides just the BR. Some of the vehicles could use some rework too (Ghost and Chopper could use a buff, Prowler needs a huge buff to the turret projectile speed or damage, maybe give it a mounted fuel rod cannon instead) but I'd rather do all that stuff after rebalancing the BR and the weapon sandbox first. Then I'd look at reworking the maps.

That was just the initial first change. If that doesn't work, maybe nerf the fire rate. We'd have to test it against the rest of the sandbox to be sure. And then also take into account how much cover would be appropriate for the reworked maps. But nerfing the kill time would be the first attempt, yeah. Gotta start somewhere.

Halo 3 has a lot of issues with dual wielded weapons availability.
>Plasma Rifle is rare and mostly found on Elites
>Magnum is rarer than the BR
>SMG shows up on only 1 Covenant missions and on all Flood missions
>Mauler only shows up on bodyguards or stalkers, appearing only once on an ammo crate
>Spiker is extremely common but is complete garbage

>Are there any XBOX account requirements to play the game solo or co-op?
Yes, just as you do today for Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Halo Infinite to ensure smooth cross-platform progression, to play Halo: Campaign Evolved you will need a Microsoft account and XBOX Gamertag, regardless of the platform(s) you play on. This enables both cross-platform play and cross-platform progression.
>Will there be any additional Collector’s Editions up for sale?
The Collector’s Edition is officially sold out and there are no plans for a restock.
With regards to reports of reselling - Our retail partners have audited orders and found no evidence of widespread scalping.
>Will there be a Photo Mode or Theater Mode?
The Blind Skull, which hides your HUD UI, weapons, and hands from view, combined with the Acrophobia Skull, which allows you to fly, should be able to provide some incredible screenshot opportunities, but there are no current plans for a Photo Mode or Theater Mode in Halo: Campaign Evolved.
>Can I wear the Mark IV armor in the base 10 missions?
We love the Mark IV armor too, so we understand the desire to wear it everywhere, but it will only be available in the 3 new bonus missions.
>If I customize my Spartan, will they show up in cutscenes with that armor?
To ensure that the narrative remains as faithful to the original game as possible, the personalized customization options you choose will not show up during cutscenes.
>Will there be a public demo of Halo: Campaign Evolved ahead of launch?
There are no plans to release a demo of the game before launch. If you’re excited and want to get your hands on the game as soon as possible, you can pre-order the Premium Edition and get up to 5 days of early access beginning July 23, 2026!

The people complaining about infinite’s weapon balance are so off the mark it’s hilarious. Have you niggers even played the game since it released? The weapons were tweaked a long time ago. It’s the best feeling, most balanced, most fluid halo game by a wide margin. I’m supposed to believe that halo CE with its human pistol, halo 2 with its dogshit dual wielding and oppressive BR, halo 3 with its pea shooter AR and magnum, and halo reach with its busted DMR and sniper that work at all distances and can blow up vehicles are somehow more balanced games? Get the fuck out of here. Your opinions are embarrassing.

The guns are still too bloomy and you fight the recoil more than actual players. Infinite sucks, plain and simple.
>>
>>571207768
Nigger what the fuck are you talking about? The only gun with any significant recoil used to be commando, but that was changed years ago. And bloom is a non issue you absolute aimlet. It’s not reach. It literally only applies to the AR and sidekick.
>>
>>571208067
>The only gun with any significant recoil used to be commando
Wrong, it's also there on all of the automatics and the sidekick. The AR even has some retarded design where you get recoil AFTER you stop firing it. It makes burst firing it basically pointless.
>And bloom is a non issue
Bloom is always bad when it's on semi-automatic weapons.
There's only 3 weapons that actually feel like Halo guns. Everything else is just spammy, bloomy, and throws your camera up into the sky. It's the worst Halo sandbox for that reason- I want to play Halo, not Call of Duty.
>>
>>571208420
You’re way off you stupid giga nigger. There’s jackshit recoil on the automatics. They have incredible range, damage, and headshot capabilities. Also you’re forgetting halo CE and 2 and 3 had recoil on the automatics weapons too. As for the the bloom, I already said there is no bloom on the semi-autos. BR doesn’t have it, snipers doesn’t have it, stalker rifle doesn’t have it, skewer doesn’t have it. Get your infinite hate boner out of your ass.

No theatre does kind of confirm to me that very little of Blam is actually around. Player physics and AI behavior is all that's left.
Ragdolls aren't blam, the animations aren't using blams system which is why they are all fucked up (the desync between the hands and weapon absolutely cannot happen in blam due to them being "one", while in unreal it's two objects being animated together), ect.

I would say the Stalker Rifle is what the DMR or Needle Rifle should have been: A weapon that actually occupies a niche in between that of a mid range precision rifle and the BR

The Beam Rifle simply has no reason to exist to begin with other then being a covie analog to the UNSC sniper.

Also the Commando is what the Carbine should be, just covenant

I wonder if this is a cleverly disguised excuse or if someone genuinely used that reasoning to prevent skins during cutscenes, but somehow that reasoning wasn't applied to 100% of the remake.
It's even stranger when there's a Skull that puts Brutes in campaign and a skin all about hunting them to turn into trophies. IIRC Skulls are intended for a second playthrough so why not allows skins in cutscenes then too?

Pretty pleased with a lot of remake visuals but the comparison doesn't make sense
>make high fidelity version of original design
>put it next to the new design made with same tech
That would be a proper comparison
Even in CE there complexity of Forerunner designs varied like many hallways being less complex than very important places like the Control Room
So as nice as Evolved looks experiences like going from more simplistic Forerunner spaces leading to more complex ones just takes away from some of the over all charm
Played CE just a bit before Reach came out so I can say the good parts of the experience weren't lost on me just because its graphics were 'old' by that point
>have new ideas for designs or even redesigns
>save them for a brand new Halo campaign
It's the most logical thing to do
Chief's remake look being Infinite's Mark V with some new details is nice but it would be even better if it were closer to the original design

some of the reach designs are really shit but the one you posted is not as bad as 3
it's less about the details and more about the proportions
reach has slim legs and long arms
3 has that stupid fat head and wide chest
but when the 3 design is proportionally good, it's really good because the detailing is cool

In some scenes in halo 3 where you can't see the entirety of an elite's body, they look really good. it's really the legs and arm length that let the design down. No one complains about how the spec ops leader and the red elite look during the ark opening cutscene.
>>
>>571266851
Yeah, there are a few times you can see the power of them standing tall like they usually do, like during the cutscene before they arrive to the ark when Shipmaster stands up fully
Some of the Reach concept art also showed the 3 design freed of the posture and facial details meant to make them seem more friendly so even the worst playtester would remember they're allies lol
>watermark
I really like that artist's remake of a CE/2-like Elite (pic-rel) but I call it a remake rather than a pure high fidelity version due to some creative liberties here and there
Touching on Reach again, somehow devs miss or willfully ignore how certain design choices were done to make the tech feel just a bit more primitive so it'd feel like the past despite graphical quality making it feel new

You might get your wish for change. Depending on the lighting the blue of what little armor Brutes war in 2 really came through, so it's not impossible for them to go with a more subtle color again. H2A Brutes actually toned down the blue even more compared to the original and made them even more hairy in places.
Then there's concept art from 2 that has them wearing more of a grey/silver for the basic type, so it'd be easy for HS to justify a change to the minor design. Wouldn't hold your breath, but of all the things we've seen suddenly changed the minor design would be far from the most extreme.

It'd be cool to see the Banished take up these unused shapes (or maybe they existed on the homeworld) in memory of Doisac being gone, or whatever faction and Brutes Halo Studios uses for the next all-new Halo.

Of course it's not unbeatable. But while Pierre is in charge, it's not going to be topped. They need a studio that doesn't think art staff are redundant.

Then why are all their weapons red and or silver? Why are they usually silver in artwork and then for some reason they suddenly start larping as elites in the games? I demand brutes be given the unique identity they deserve.

She's already played the original trilogy, Reach, and Infinite. This is her second time playing CE vanilla (She's also played Cursed Halo, which makes it her third time through CE). She's more hype to play Campaign Evolved than I am, and I love Halo. She's even read one of the Halo books. Half the anons here don't even know how to read which is why Bleach is more popular than the Halo books in /hg/, because it has pictures to go along with the words.

True, but that has nothing to do with this discussion. The point is that you hate halo if you'd rather she stream netflix instead of play Classic Halo.

Bungie devs were wizards

CE's assets were actually designed with static baked lighting in mind. It's visually cohesive. That's why it has aged significantly better.

Halo 2 was originally going to use a Doom 3 esque lighting system that was fully dynamic, and featured inky stencil shadows. They had to drop it midway through development, and fall back to an updated version of CE's renderer. They didn't redo the assets, so the final game just looks really flat

Halo 3, they wanted to finish everything they started with Halo 2's development from 2002 to 2007, that's 5 years, and make it as good as could be.

Reach pushed the Xbox 360 as far as it could go, hence the 20fps (Tip of the Spear, The Package, Pillar of Autumn, etc)

Halo CE was one of the earliest games to incorporate bump/normal mapping

Halo CE had bullet casings looked like real metal shells, didn't disappear quickly but remained on the ground for a long time (nothing cooler to see tons of bullet shells scattered everywhere after a fire fight), and watching them realistically roll down hills.

Specular on bsp is all kinds of broken in Halo 2, different ways depending on version of the game. Bungie disabled it on many surfaces because of this. In MCC it has a broken directional computation, in Vista it just doesn't work at all

Halo 2's maps were so big the original Xbox couldn't handle it. Containment is the biggest map in Halo 2.

Halo 3 ran at 1152x640, it wasn't even 720p

>“[Y]ou could argue we gave you 1280 pixels of vertical resolution, since Halo 3 uses not one, but two frame buffers, both of which render at 1152×640 pixels,”a Bungie representativewrote. “The reason we chose this slightly unorthodox resolution and this very complex use of two buffers is simple enough to see: lighting. We wanted to preserve as much dynamic range as possible, so we use one for the high dynamic range and one for the low dynamic range values. Both are combined to create the finished on screen image.”

Stuff like warthog tires, scorpion treads, ect are parallaxed in 3.

ODST didn't have any rain because the engine didn't support it

Reach's motion blur technique, like in Tekken 6, works on an individual object basis

>Reach's lighting system means that there can be upward of thirty or more light sources on screen at once, given off via weapons fire, explosions, and environmental lighting, such as the glow given off from lights inside buildings. All of these light sources are real-time, and interact with their surroundings. So a gunshot, or rounds from a Needler will light up surrounding areas, and change the shadows created by moving objects. Each individual projectile from the Needler also has its own light source

Expanded Halo 1 in basically every way and you can imagine how having the space for what feels more like armies of enemies would change things
Flood was also supposed to be a lot more complicated but switching to Microsoft and Xbox and not delaying lead to many cut elements (https://halo.bungie.org/pressscans/display.html?scan=edge_equip.2003)
More tension and fear as well given the more closed-in underground spaces where you'd likely be meant to run out of ammo at times (unless you were super conservative or liked using melee) and would have to face all sorts of foes with the 'machete'
Whether Engineers, Scarabs, Prophets (Elites) and various other ideas that had to be pushed back to Halo 2 would've all made it in had it stayed on PC is a question someone else will have to answer - I'm sure someone's asked Marcus, Marty and Joe about this

They DO show up after H3 formally, before the end of the Covenant they were a simple guerrilla force with no way to match their military size and Atriox operated as such by stealing from remote settlements the Covenant didn't really care too much about. They got their glow up after the Great Schism aftermath when there was no one that would stop them from stealing and repurposing abandoned tech, humanity was barely alive and space dinos were busy being tsunderes to each other or retared chaman praying to idols. The other races didn't give a shit or were useless to begin with.
